The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether the amount of washings of chemically treated fabrics resulted in any flame-resistance being lost. It was hypothesized that the flame-resistance of all fabric samples would steadily decrease throughout the entire process of washings. It was also hypothesized that the polyester fabrics would retain more flame-resistance overall than the cotton fabrics. All fabrics were cut from each and burned for 15 seconds after each washing. The area of fabric burned increased after one washing, but remained steady between one, two, and three washings. An ANOVA test showed a significant difference between ...
